Hot Tub Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 With Sharon Jones & THe Dap Kings. What can I say? Inspirational! Awesome! Brilliant! I mean, just, WOW! That's my idea of damn near perfect bass playing. Absolute magic! Thank-you. Erm... as you were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yep and I'm going to see them at the Sage on Saturday. Wonder what happened to the backing singers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't like it. (Me? Jealous? Nooooooooooooooooooo.... ) Any chance of a review when you get back? I'd love to see this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) I'll see what I can do: I'm hoping for an ideal w/e when we beat the Mackems on Sunday too! What sort of Bass was he playing last night? Edited April 16, 2008 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulfinger Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 @york5stringer: Looking forward to your review! I got to see Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings two years ago here in Vienna and let me tell you - they are the real deal! Be prepared for a breath-taking, fantastic old-school soul review à la James Brown. That band is tighter than a gnat´s a**hole during mating season. Bosco Mann is not only the bass player but the musical director for the band, and he´s doing a hell of a job. Top player as well, with a great fat, greasy, groovy sound. Unless he changed gear recently, he plays a 1969 short-scale Carvin with two pickups and old, worn rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
